At issue here isn't logic ..
On the contrary I suggest that that is the pivotal issue.
Like lemmings off a cliff, I ponder how many pilots have pulled a broken aircraft into the air, only to fly it to the scene of the accident
Somewhat fewer, I suggest, than those who have rejected post-V1 and come to grief. There are no guarantees, only probabilities. Sensible folk stake their lives and superannuation on the numbers game. Only in the rarest of situations is the spur of the moment call going to win the day. Of course it happens - sometimes - but the odd successful exception doesn't invalidate the general rule.
I think that GF and MFS have summarised the situation succinctly ?
